We had a good Christmas. Hope everyone else did, too. I am six mos post op and still needing pain meds, though I have cut back to 7.5 milligrams a day. I am ok most of the time, have a working window of seven to eight hours a day when for the most part I am unaware that I had surgery. Christmas was busy. Had one son who flew in from Arizona then we drove 4 hours to visit two of his sisters, drove four hours back the next day. Did ok after the long ride. I had two nights after that I was wired and unable to sleep. Then yesterday afternoon, I collapsed. I had a four hour nap, then went to bed at 830 pm and slept til 9 this morning. I used to do the long sleeps in the first three months post op. Surgeon said they were my healing sleeps. So how long does this unusual need for sleep last? And is it normal?
Thanks for the input.
